A little bit about me

Hi Families! My name is Tricia and I'm 23 years old, pursuing a Marketing degree in the evenings as well as my real estate license in Va.I grew up in VA and relocated to Bethesda last year and work for two wonderful families in a full time nanny-share. Duties range from cooking and snack preparation, light cleaning, sleep/potty training, school pick-up/drop-off, and plenty of creative play! I very much enjoy the outdoors, as well as planning arts and crafts, story times, and fostering a sense of independence in the children I care for. I've been a professional nanny for 5 years, working with ages 9mo-12 yrs old, including twins and those with special needs/diets. I also have my pediatric certification for first-aid, CPR, and AED from the Red Cross and a reliable car. As of 3-6 I am fully vaccinated for Covid, but continuing to monitor CDC guidelines. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to discussing further what your family is looking for!

A little bit about me

I was born here in Maryland but my parents were military at the time and got stationed to San Antonio, Texas when I was 6mos old. I lived there until I was 21 and moved to Maryland in 2018. I have 9 siblings, which one of them is my twin brother. I come from a big family where we all love and look out for each other, so family means a lot to me. I am caring, responsible, loving, trusting, nurturing, helpful and outgoing. I have played basketball, soccer, ran track and am still currently playing volleyball in an adult league. I am the varsity volleyball head coach at St Andrew’s Episcopal, where practices are from 3:30-6pm. I am also the assistant coach for spring (outdoor) track as well at the school with practice times the same. I coach club volleyball for Platform Volleyball Club (PVC), where practices are typically from 8-10pm but that is subject to change once the season starts. If I am not nannying, I sub at the school doing PE for grades between Pre-K through 5th grade.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Bethesda, MD

Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.

From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Bethesda can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Bethesda Babysitter Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a babysitter?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Maryland?
  • Do you have a Maryland driver’s license? Do you own a car?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
